that is the best ecomod success of all.
I did the same thing, within miles of daily life.
I had an 80 mile trek from central maine to bangor..the trip of bad roads, and alot of times coastal weather versus mountain like...for days and weeks, I snapped parts not even baja extremists would believe.
Now today
my gas chart doesn't get updated often. I wait until the 500 mile round trip I take once and awhile....
would love to strap a small moped/scooter something outside and use that too.
I was handicapped bad enough where bikes was no option, but I feel too old now at 37.
